From Ghulam Ali's Golden Collection album:

kabhii aah lab pe machal ga_ii kabhii ashk aa.Nkh se Dhal gaye 
vo tumhaare Gam ke chiraaG hai.n kabhii bujh gaye kabhii jal gaye 

[aah = sigh; Gam = sorrow]

mai.n Khayaal-o-Khvaab kii mahafile.n na baqadr-e-shauq sajaa sakaa 
tumhaarii ik nazar ke saath hii mere sab iraade badal gaye 

[Khayaal = thought; Khvaab = dream; ba-qadr = according to; shauq = desire]

kabhii ra.ng me.n kabhii ruup me.n kabhii chaa.Nv me.n kabhii dhuup me.n 
kahii.n aafataab-e-nazar hai.n vo kahii.n maahataab me.n Dhal gaye 

[aaftaab = Sun; maahataab = moon].... :-)

jo fanaa huye Gam-e-ishq me.n u.nhe.n zi.ndagii kaa na Gam huaa 
jo na apanii aag me.n jal sake vo paraa_ii aag me.n jal gaye 

[fanaa = destroyed; paraa_ii = belonging to other]

yaa u.nhe.n bhii merii tarah junuu.N to phir un me.n mujh me.n ye farq kyaa

[junuu.N = madness; farq = difference; giraft-e-Gam = sorrow's imprisonment]
